A girl viewing each place she visits or abides with wonder and amazement.
Joys found as a new story unfolds.
Close to home in her “Rock House”.
Far away as the jumping off place.
Arriving in Philadelphia on a hot July day, moving to Florida
in the “Cape Canaveral” “Camelot” days.
It was “Merritt Island Potter” where she began her working with clay.
Her “sports car” has its top continually down.
It is as an “Endless Summer” where she lives and abounds!
She is at home in the mountains, in the woods working in her “potter’s shop” or in her home by the sea.
Walking the fields filled with wildflowers, weeds and by her many streams.
She may be walking the sand by the sea to collect its washed ashore “shells”.
Maybe she shall be traveling about the globe to view another town.
Always having about her while at home butterflies, flowers and birds with which she abides.
Where shall she be at the beginning of another story and journey?
This is Karen Marie.

About Karen

I was a full time potter for many years and had a working farm while living in the mountains of North Carolina, USA
I had "goats" and sat among my sheep out in the field at night with my 2 children alone as we were. I milked the goats and sheared the sheep. I had geese, chickens, turkeys and an abundance of other wild friends about me.
I knew all the first astronauts and went to school with many of their offspring.
I have been inside many a missile and had many days of "Camelot" among the first era of "Space and the Moon Race".
I was on the shake down cruise of the USS Observation Island that was the first ship to blast missile while at sea.
My father was the photographic and optical director for the entire east coast missile range from Cape Canaveral to Pretoria S. Africa.
I had many a chat with folks about in these days of "Camelot".
I knew several fellows who flew the U2...airplanes not singing group!
Their wings were not covered completely while residing about from where they took off and landed.
I was the only person who practiced full time pottery from the oldest potters in Florida at Merritt Island Potter, which began in 1932.
I can teach Ikebana Ikenobo and I am a graduate of the Washington School of Protocol for Tea and Etiquette.
I was the public relations director for John Hopkins School of Advance International Studies in Washington DC and had lunch with many an interesting person at the Brookings Institute which was directly across the street on Mass. Avenue.
I hold a graduate degree in original research in Divinity and Psychology.
I have lived in the city, up in the mountains and woods in the sky, by the sea and all that I have known means nothing compare to what God has done for all man in the Son of His Love Jesus which He sent to bring us back home to Him.
